Thierry Henry in Arsenal

Thierry is one of world football's most electrifying talents. The French striker's skill, pace, eye for goal and selfless team play would improve any side on the planet but he is happy to remain the jewel in Arsenal's crown.

Thierry was untouchable in the Premiership last term, racking up 25 goals and 14 assists despite missing the run-in through injury. He scored five more in Europe and starts the new season just four short of Ian Wright's Club record of 185 goals.

News of January:

Thierry started against Manchester United before sitting out the Cup tie with Cardiff City. He returned to bag a hat-trick against Middlesbrough in the Premiership and started at Everton before heading Arsenal’s first in the Carling Cup Semi-Final second-leg against Wigan. The Arsenal captain missed the FA Cup tie with Bolton as a precaution to protect a hamstring twinge.
